How looks an Ayurvedic consultation with Dr. Adwait Tripathi?

Consultation last 45 minutes, and it constits of an comprehensive exam aimed at uncovering the cause of what ails you. Ayurvedic diagnosis is made through a combination of a complete and detailed history, a pulse, tongue, and physical exam that will help to reveal underlying factors in the disease process. Often a patient may complain of numerous symptoms. Instead of giving a remedy for each symptom, Adwait diagnoses and treats the fundamental imbalance that may be responsible for all of the symptoms.

In Ayurveda, disease is always seen as an imbalance in the dosha system. As a result, the diagnostic process strives to determine which doshas are under-active or overactive in a body. Ayurveda offers mainly three kinds of treatment – through Ayurvedic medicines, diet and lifestyle control, and Pancha Karma therapy. Ayurvedic medicines mainly comprise of powders, tablets, decoctions, medicated oils, etc., which are prepared from natural herbs, plants, and minerals. Pancha Karma comprises a number of Ayurvedic therapies involving detoxification, therapeutic cleansing of the body and rejuvenation as a treatment for many chronic conditions.
